‘One of the best creations in mythology’ – Saheli Chatterjee #TSGS

Read online here.

When I received my copy of the book I could not wait to tear open the package. Being an admirer of Lord Krishna, for me it was no ordinary book. I got some positive vibes from the miraculously simple yet mysterious cover and wondered what was going to unfold. The beauty of the cover thrilled me so much that I ended up Bookstagramming about it and this was loved by my followers.

When I started reading – “The Secret of God’s Son” by Usha Narayanan, my first reaction was “Oh my God!” There were sentences which boldly brought to light what we had read in our childhood in the pages of “Mahabharata”, only in a “censored” language. I was shocked, amazed, thrilled, petrified and fell in love with Usha Narayanan’s play with words and her introduction of the character of Krishna’s son, Pradyumna.

The tale is about Pradyumna and his struggle to reverse the dire prediction by Gandhari, given unto the land and the tribe of Krishna. You can read the blurb at the Amazon site here. For now, give your attention to my review. I want to do justice to this amazing novel but I think I will fail to do it.

I feel a bit sorry for not having gone through the first book of the series and I wonder if I missed out on any joy while I read the second book. In my humble and unbiased opinion, I believe that no other book based on the mythological genre that I read this year can surpass the exuberance this one brought to me and I am glad to have laid my hands upon this.

Speaking about the progress of the story, I was charmed by Pradyumna’s grace and I am pretty sure if you get your hands on the same, the characters from mythology, or rather, beyond the mythology will create an aura of realism and magical force that will compel you to march along with them. You feel a strong desire to follow-up and know what happens next. I was impressed with Pradyumna’s persistence and his courage. I was charmed by his wife Maya, a devoted lady whose subtle yet daring nature was enough to steal the limelight.

Reading this book was like watching the events and lived up to my expectations. The style of narration did justice to the plot and Usha Narayanan has made one of the best creations in the field of mythology, ever.

Overall, if you are a fan of good mythology or are willing to give this new genre a shot, buy this book by clicking here.

I rate the book 4.5 stars.
